How does surgery influence female sexuality in patients with endometriosis compared to those with other benign gynecological conditions?
Our research indicates that the surgical removal of endometriotic lesions can lead to an improvement in sexual function, as measured by the FSFI, within 8 to 18 weeks post-surgery. This improvement was not observed in the control group, which underwent surgery for other benign gynecological issues.
